Summary The report describes a patient during induction of anaesthesia for coronary artery by‐pass grafting, in whom the infusion of dohutamine at a rate of 5 fig.kg −1 .min −1 resulted in unanticipated severe hypertension. The exaggerated response may be attributed to cimetidine‐dobutamine interaction.
